But it has happened on other forums. And when it gets to the point it did where every click to post generates a captcha, I'll move on to another forum. With a forum for Tropico I once frequented, the last three days I was there, any internal site navigation, not just posting, generated a captcha check.

There has to be a balance somewhere. Editing a signature or a previous post shouldn't be within that balance...

It just happened to me. I could not edit a post I just posted. However, consecutive posts were merged correctly, and old posts could be edited.

Just that recently posted post had the issue.

edit: And, also curiously, this time it worked.

My best guess at the moment it's a glitch that only affects you once, and then is gone. If I would make a bet, I would bet that they added a feature to the site, and some flag need to be initialized, what just happens the first time you try to edit a post!

(the last paragraph was merged, and this line was edited 3 times consecutively)

I just had to confirm a new post and one edit in my own thread, and i am pretty sure my system is virus free, i run a quite expensive private internetsecurity software i won`t name here specifically but i hope it is not the culprit. The companys name begins with K .

Edit: No captcha now while posting this.
Edit 2: No captcha while editing this, seems gone

Edit 3: I just made a complete scan of my system, no threats detected, no rootkits nor other malware living on my SSD.
Edit 5: Captcha request is back, clicking fast the "i am no bot" button works but the issue is annoying somehow.

Hi @Dman979 I also got the Captcha/not a robot check. I was able to be quick enough and was able to post my comment. However, now I can't save an edit to that post.. here is the error that appears when I try to click "save" after making my changes (Attempting to change "You" to "You're".

After I click OK to this message, the forum save button gets stuck being greyed out with the text "Saving..." - Ok weird - now it works if I edit this post. However, I can't edit this specific post it seems.

I'm a habitual editor of my posts (3/4 times) to correct spelling / add all sorts of extra information so this is quite frustrating.

Well, @wile1411, it looks like you can edit the one right above me, because I just took a look at it and I wasn't mentioned, and now I suddenly am!

I'm honestly pretty confused about what's going on here. I have encountered the same problem, and @ManeTI is looking into it. Fingers crossed it's fixed soon. In the meantime, please feel free to sacrifice a rocket or two to the kraken on Bop.
